Week 10 - 2011 College Football Rankings

An overtime win on the road over Alabama was enough for the LSU Tigers to take over the #1 spot in our analysis this week. However, because the game was so close, Alabama did manage to retain the #2 spot. Even with a loss, Alabama has had greater success this season (so far) than undefeated teams like Oklahoma State, Boise State, Stanford and Houston.

However, we find it even more interesting that Texas A&M remains at #13 despite having four losses. Those four losses have been by 1 point to (currently #3) Oklahoma State, four points to (currently #14) Arkansas, seven points to (currently #35) Missouri and by 16 points to (currently #6) Oklahoma. Meanwhile, the Aggies' wins have all been by large margins (even over currently #32 Baylor) except for one five-point victory over (currently #51) Texas Tech. It's not a national championship resume, but it's not a bad one either, considering the difficulty of the Aggies' schedule.
